3 | Additional Access Conditions for oversize and overmass heavy vehicles and loads
1.0 Application
This publication explains the requirements for Class 1 oversize and/or overmass heavy vehicles travelling
under an access permit issued for travel on Transport for New South Wales managed roads in NSW.
The requirements contained in this publication are in addition to the requirements contained in the relevant
Class 1 Notice or other relevant Notice(s) and the requirements contained in your access permit.
This document replaces the January 2020 version of the Additional Access Conditions for oversize and
overmass heavy vehicles and loads.

Requirements for ‘high risk’ oversize and/or overmass movements
If you are undertaking an oversize and/or overmass movement in NSW that is classified as ‘high risk’,
travelling on a ‘high risk’ route, or undertaking a movement that involves the transportation of a
‘critical/sensitive’ load, you are required to complete a Transport Management Plan.
A Transport Management Plan is a comprehensive document that enables you to record your plans,
procedures and other operational activities that are required to safely transport an oversize and/or
overmass movement in NSW.

Additional information
Additional information on undertaking oversize and/or overmass movements in NSW including contact
details for Rail Infrastructure Managers, motorway and tunnel operators and NSW Police, and Transport
Management Plans can viewed at: http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/osom.

website at: https://www.livetraffic.com.

4 | Additional Access Conditions for oversize and overmass heavy vehicles and loads
2.0 Additional permit conditions

2.1 Agricultural vehicles
The conditions in section 2.1 apply to agricultural vehicles travelling under a Class 1 access permit on
Transport for New South Wales managed roads in NSW. These conditions apply in addition to the
requirements contained in an access permit, the Class 1 Agricultural Vehicles Notice or other relevant
Notice and other applicable requirements contained in this publication.

Condition 1: Braking requirements for agricultural implements
Condition: Where the mass of the agricultural implement exceeds either 6 tonnes or the unladen weight of
the towing vehicle, the braking system must be interconnected with the braking system of the towing
vehicle and be capable of independent operation by the driver.
Statement of Reason: The braking system of the hauling and trailing unit must be interconnected and
capable of independent operation by the driver of the towing vehicle for agricultural combinations at these
mass levels to enable the combination to stop within the performance levels specified in section 87(2) of
the Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation.

Condition 2: Towing connection between towing vehicle and agricultural implements
Condition: The towing connection between the towing vehicle and the agricultural implement must be built
and fitted so that:
    a. the coupling is equipped with a positive locking mechanism;
    b. the positive locking mechanism can be released regardless of the angle of the trailing unit to the
        towing vehicle;
    c. the coupling fitted to the trailing unit must display a means of identifying its manufacturer; and
    d. the vehicle can tow up to the maximum gross weight of the trailer it is designed to tow.
Statement of Reason: This type of towing connection is required to ensure that the connection between the
towing vehicle and the trailing unit is secured, can be easily released when required and is capable of
supporting the maximum mass of the trailing unit. This is required to minimise the crash risks associated
with trailing units, such as failures of the coupling and detachment of the trailer from the hauling vehicle.

Condition 3: Safety connections between towing vehicle and trailing unit
Condition: If the trailing unit in the combination is not fitted with breakaway brakes, it must be connected to
the towing vehicle by at least two safety chains, cables or other flexible devices. Any such safety
connection must be as short as is practicable and be connected so that:
    a. it is not liable to accidentally disconnect but is readily detachable from the towing vehicle;
    b. it permits all normal angular movements of the coupling without more slack than is necessary;
    c. it will prevent the forward end of the trailing unit drawbar from striking the ground in the event of
         accidental disconnection of the coupling; and
    d. the chains, cables or other flexible devices are in a crossed-over position.
Statement of Reason: The trailing unit must be connected to the towing vehicle in a manner that enables
the trailing unit to be appropriately secured to the hauling unit and provide flexibility to allow full angular
movements.

Condition 4: Mass limit of towed agricultural implements
Condition: The total mass of any towed agricultural implement must not exceed the total mass of the towing
vehicle.
Statement of Reason: The mass limit of any towed attachment must not exceed the mass of the towed
vehicle to maintain the stability of the combination and to ensure the combination can stop within the

5 | Additional Access Conditions for oversize and overmass heavy vehicles and loads
performance levels specified in section 87(2) of the Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National
Regulation.

2.2 Overmass vehicles
The conditions in section 2.2 apply to Class 1 heavy vehicles exceeding the mass limits contained in the
relevant Class 1 Notice and travelling under a Class 1 access permit on Transport for New South Wales
managed roads in NSW. The conditions in this section apply in addition to the requirements contained in an
access permit, the relevant Class 1 Notice or other relevant Notice and other applicable requirements
contained in this publication.

Condition 5: Drive axle mass requirements
Condition: If a low loader dolly is included in the combination, the mass on the drive axle group of the prime
mover must be at least 14 tonnes.
Statement of Reason: This condition is required to ensure there is sufficient weight on the drive axle group
so as to have appropriate traction and ensure mass is appropriately distributed across the combination.

Condition 6: No travel over grids
Condition: Where grids are installed on any road, the vehicle where possible shall pass through the gates
provided and not over the grids.
Statement of Reason: This condition is required to protect vulnerable road infrastructure from the risk of
damage from overmass vehicles.

Condition 7: Travel over bridges
Condition:
A laden eligible vehicle exceeding 93.5 tonnes must not cross any bridge under the following
circumstances:
   a. while any other vehicle is on the bridge;
   b. except along the centreline of the bridge or where directed by an escort, authorised officer or NSW
      Police; and
   c. unless the vehicle is kept to a speed of less than 10 km/h with no sudden braking or acceleration.

   Where a grid is installed on any road, the vehicle where possible shall pass through the gates provided
   and not over the grid.
Statement of Reason: This condition is required to protect road infrastructure through:

   •   No additional traffic load on the bridge during movement;
   •   Distributing the vehicle load evenly within the bridge structure; and
   •   Avoiding an increase in the dynamic load impact on the bridge.

Condition 8: No travel over damaged roads
Condition: The vehicle shall not travel roads damaged by floods, submergence, mine subsidence or
earthquakes.
Statement of Reason: Overmass heavy vehicles travelling on roads during these conditions when the road
is in a weakened condition may cause permanent damage to the pavement.

Condition 9: Complying steer axle
Condition: A vehicle with a complying steer axle is entitled to the benefit of the complying steer axle mass
limits outlined in the Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation.

6 | Additional Access Conditions for oversize and overmass heavy vehicles and loads
Statement of Reason: The complying steer axle mass limit provides vehicles with additional mass on the
steer axle provided the vehicle complies with additional safety features.

2.3 Oversize vehicles
The conditions in section 2.3 apply to Class 1 heavy vehicles exceeding a dimension limit in the relevant
Class 1 Notice and travelling under a Class 1 access permit on Transport for New South Wales managed
roads in NSW. The conditions in this section apply in addition to the requirement in the access permit, the
relevant Class 1 Notice or other relevant Notice and other applicable requirements contained in this
publication.

Condition 10: Loads exceeding 4.8m high
Condition: A loaded vehicle higher than 4.8m must carry its load on a vehicle or trailer with a deck height no
more than 1.2 m above the ground.
Statement of Reason: Trailers that do not comply with these requirements have a reduced centre of gravity
which reduces the stability of the combination and poses an increased road safety risk to other road users.

Condition 11: Requirement to contact the M5 West Motorway and M7 Motorway operators
Condition: If you are travelling on the M5 West Motorway or M7 Motorway you must contact the motorway
operator at least 5 working days before travel if your vehicle or combination:
   a. exceeds 5.2m high; or
   b. equal to or greater than 4.3m wide; or
   c. exceeds 150 tonnes or when the permit requires an operator to travel 10km/h over the centreline of
      a bridge.
Motorway operator contact details are available at www.rms.nsw.gov.au/osom.
Statement of Reason: This condition is required to ensure that an oversize and/or overmass vehicle can
travel on a motorway safely and without any disruptions or delays for reasons including lane closures and
road works.

Condition 12: Requirement to contact M2 Motorway operator
Condition: If you are travelling on the M2 Motorway you must contact the motorway operator at least 5
working days before travel if your vehicle or combination:
   a. exceeds 5.2m high; or
   b. greater than 3.5m wide; or
